I don't know what you consider a dog but I do know more HP = more problems and maintanence. Tim sold that boat because he was tired of the hassles with big power (fuel, maintenance, breaking, etc) There's something to be said for less HP and turn key. No, you wont do 100 but when you really get down to it, how often are you running 100 in the ocean? And 100 aint even fast when you think of running on a lake so...it is what it is. Maybe Rob (offshoredrillin) will chime in. His Tiger has XR's and 500's I think. he raced it in the bimini race. Don't know the speed but there's something to be said of a turn key wave crusher.

Yeah, certainly don't need the fastest Tiger in the world. Despite what I said above, I'd be happy with 75 - 80 MPH in big water vs 100 MPH in flat water.

My buddy that wants to do this deal would really like to have a 41 Apache but prices are crazy. I'd be happy with a straight hull Gun with SSM #3A's like someone used to have. :D

I want to make sure he doesn't get something that he'll regret buying.

Personally, if I was in the market for a non step tiger this would be the one for sure

Looks like we're crossing posts here. :D

Well, that there is my thinking. Like I said, if it was just me I'd be looking at your old boat (or one like it). I don't need to be Mr. BadAss (obviously from the past boats I've owned :D ).

That f*cker is bad azz!

Yes, this one is nice too and at only $20K more asking, would be a better buy. I'll show it to my buddy and see what he thinks.

It sure is tank!!!! It was for sale on here awhile back, it just popped back up again today. There ain't nothing I don't like about that one!!!! 750s, 6 drives and custom paint....sweet ride.

Yea, it's gorgeous. There was/is a thread on here somewhere where the owner talks about the work he's done including the paint and motors and I think he swapped out XRs for the 6s if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for the kind words guys! Just trying to get out of that kinda boating for awhile. Really nice boat for the money....

I also Pm'd the OP so maybe we can work something out.

It looked a lot better when I had the opportunity to buy this from Harrison Marine for $76,000 and then offered it to a buddy who passed on it as well........for both of us it was just a timing issue and what we going on at the time.....had nothing to do with the boat.....nice ride a both prices..
